"Well thought out platform that puts easy form creation in the users hands!"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

That I could design all the forms we need with very little coaching from tech support. The staff is friendly and helpful and the ability to design your own stuff is awesome. Their platform is pretty easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

There are limitations that require their programmers to do. I wish there were more options for tables and built in math. And the PDF designer does have limitations that can be frustrating. But overall the system is still pretty well thought out and cutting edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reduce and Find Errors Easily"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

Pictures, GPS and ability to have conditional fields. Apps work great on portable devices like smart phones. Data can be collected and monitored near real time. Ability to group and dispatch jobs too certain employees or employee. Files are time stamped. Monitoring of job completion. Ability to upload and update reference data easily. Editing app as required after publishing very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

No if or statements. Reference file upload limitation, there is options though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smart, Saavy, Scalable"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

I love the flexibility of Canvas. The dependencies that it allows you to build into your forms/apps is perfect for our business. It allows us to create content-rich forms that are focused on ease of use. Scalability is another amazing facet of Canvas. We started with a handful of users and are now close to 100 - adding new users and assigning them apps/forms is simple and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

There is no such thing as a silver bullet. But even with that, we've been very pleased with Canvas and don't have anything that stands out here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Too expensive to add users"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

Helps keep track of job information for construction sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

Cost to add a user to allow access to apps within a paid account is too high. Need to add a user to have access to an app and the cost is very high to do that which lowers the productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Michelle,

I'm glad our team was able to get in touch with you this afternoon to discuss.

I'm sorry we couldn't find a solution that worked for your team's specific budget needs, but we thank you again for trying Canvas!

If we can be of assistance in the future, please let us know.

----------------------------------------------------------

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for your review.

I am glad to see the Canvas is helping your company more effectively track construction projects, but disappointed to see you left a low rating based on price.

Most of our subscribers have 3+ apps that they use with the Canvas platform, so we would love to explore the other ways that your company could utilize Canvas to increase your ROI. We also have flexible pricing options available for growing teams as well!

Please feel free to reach out to me via email at Keith.bateman@gocanvas.com if you would like to discuss further.

Thank you again for being a Canvas subscriber.

"Overall I really like canvas. Could use a few tweaks "
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

On a desktop it’s easy to search and Compile data. The system is also very organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

there is no administrative version of an app.

Have to do everything from a desktop or browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game Changer"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

So easy to use, from start to finish. Programming new apps, setting up all the parameters, end-user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

It could use a preview, prior to signature. We create a document for a customer, and ask them to sign, but they don't see the result or form before signing.

Also, pretty dang expensive if your user base is large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app - with a few minor issues"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

This makes it easy for field technicians to get paperwork in immediately without the hassle of keeping up with a bunch of paperwork. This is also great for our customers to immediately get their work orders. Overall, very simple user interface, clean design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

Sometimes there are issues with submitting and submissions can be ruined when in a bad service area, creating duplicate work. This creates frustration for our users but issues are usually overcome with syncing or waiting for a better signal area. The load time between our software and Canvas to realize the work orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith B. of GoCanvas

Thanks for leaving a review!

I just wanted to let you know we're releasing a new Canvas feature that will have submissions automatically upload in the background if they fail to upload the first time you sync.

This will hopefully ease any frustration you have when trying to sync your Canvas data in bad coverage areas! Look for release notes on this soon.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email Support@gocanvas.com .

"My experience has been good "
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

I like the ability to make the checklist in the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

I wish it was easier to make the pdf. If you make a change in the pdf document it doesn't update well. Pretty much you have to get it right the first time as making changes or updates does not seem to work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
